TUNE INTO MUSIC TUNE OUT ON DRUGS!
Thank you for visiting Spread Your Wings, a Youth Alcohol and Drug Prevention program, designed to raise awareness on the dangers of abusing alcohol and drugs.
I believe that everyone has dreams. Dreams can be many things, a vision, fantasy, or even a desired goal. However big or small, all dreams are an important part of life. As an advocate for Youth in today's society, I realize that many obstacles can get in the way of their dreams. Learning that the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol was among the leading causes of death among teens today was shocking. I thought about my goals to become a professional singer and realized that my many successes have come from staying true to my dreams, and remaining alcohol and drug free.
I know from my own experience and others that most teens get bored and tune out of the traditional drug-training programs offered in school. Teens tell me that they want something more entertaining. For this reason, I designed my program to include music that is intertwined with an important educational alcohol and drug awareness prevention message. Along with information from National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependency (NCADD), Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) and The Partnership For Drug Free America, I provide not only education, but support.
I hope that my program reaches out to youth everywhere and sends my message, Tune Into Music and Tune Out On Drugs!
